Ads? Man, I need to replace my OLED because of screen burn-in, but I'm definitely not going to pay money to see ads. Are there any TVs left that don't push ads directly to the TV?

Depends where those ads are coming from. I don't ever connect my LG OLED to the internet and my roku gets filtered by a pihole. The only ads I see are from the over-the-air programming from my antenna.

We currently have an LG connected to the internet, but I never see any ads. It has to be connected to the internet because it's connected to the home WiFi for casting.

How old a model is it?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

C6, so I think 2016.

C6? That sounds like super new. It started at Cx, C1, C2 and the last I remember was C3 which was definitely more recent probably 2020.

I verified, it's from 2016. It's the super thin flat panel OLED, 65". We paid a ridiculous amount of money for it, so the burn in is a real bummer.
